Hello,
I am planning to drive the HobbyCNC Pro 4 board with a BeagleBone Black running Machinekit. However, I need to know what the timings have to be. Specifically, I need:
1. the minimum step duration,
2. the step period, and
3. the setup and hold times for the direction signals with respect to both the leading and trailing edges of the step signal.
I would like to know any other timings that I need as well.
If there are any “gotcha’s”, please inform me of them. Presumably, the steppers themselves impose timing limits. These I can determine through experimentation, I believe. Please correct me if I am wrong; I would hate to destroy the HobbyCNC Pro 4 that has served me well for years just because I want to upgrade my milling machine.
Best regards,
Peter
